Congratulations to Anderson native Bailey Hanks on being chosen Elle Woods on the MTV reality show Legally Blonde, The Musical: The Search For Elle Woods. Thousands of young ladies auditioned for the role and the top ten were featured on a weekly MTV show earlier this year.
A graduate of Pendleton High School and a student at Coastal Carolina University, Bailey became an early favorite in the contest. She has a huge following in the area after starring in many local productions in the community theatre and School District Five’s Connection Arts Festival. Former Anderson Mayor Richard Shirley was one of many who made the trip to New York last week to see Bailey’s opening night performance. He met Bailey in 2004 when they performed in the Wizard of Oz. Mr. Shirley said, “The opening night performance was like being at a football game and rock concert rolled into one. The crowd was screaming and cheering when Bailey rose to the stage, and they hung onto every note and step. It was an incredible experience!”
I’m sure from all reports Bailey is well on her way to stardom. She has etched a special place in the hearts of her fellow Andersonians.
